Architraves and ceiling man hole

At this stage of the build we are upto doing the finishing work as the course finishes next week so the build is nearly done.
Today we learnt about Architraves for the doors and windows, Our tutor James took us though the process of measuring, cutting and fitting them as you will see in the first photos.
Warner and I had the job of cutting out, framing and finishing the ceiling man hole, this was done using the same method using architraves, because the hole was slightly out of square I had to pack out and scribe the architraves so as to get the correct querk.
